2021 Copa Truck season

The 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro de Copa Truck is the fifth season of the Copa Truck. André Marques achieved his first Copa Truck title in a Mercedes-Benz with his own team AM Motorsport, which was the champion team. The newly introduced Super Class was won by Felipe Tozzo onboard a Dakar Motorsport Iveco.

The series is administered at the national level by the Brazilian Automobile Confederation (CBA). 2021 saw the Series switch from Pirelli to Goodyear as Official Supplier for all Teams.

The category's origins came after nine teams left Formula Truck due to disagreements with the problematic management of Neusa Navarro Félix. These teams joined together in an association to create the category that replaced Formula Truck. The new category brings together teams and drivers from the old category.

In November 2017, it was approved by the Brazilian Automobile Confederation (CBA) and recognized as an official championship. Carlos Col, former head of the Stock Car Pro Series, is its promoter.

The Truck Cup was officially launched on April 27, 2017, in São Paulo. In the first season, the championship was divided into three regional cups: Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. The first stage took place on May 28, in Goiânia, with 17 trucks on the grid.

The association is made up of the following teams: RM Competições, AJ5 Sports, DF Motorsport, RVR Motorsports, Dakar Motors, Fábio Fogaça Motorsports, Lucar Motorsports and Clay Truck Racing.
